Patient
Room UV Air Purifiers

The
problem with hanging surface sterilizers that
use UV light to disinfect room air is their
ability to effectively clean the air in the
room. Although effective on surfaces they come
in contact with the UV also degrades the surfaces,
such as paint, wallpaper, ceiling tiles, etc.
Standard UV air purifiers made specifically
for surfaces often hang from the ceiling, in
many cases directly over a patient. Because
UVC light is dangerous to eyes and skin these
products are shielded at the bottom and allow
UV light to shine out the sides and the top,
reaching ceiling & walls. Unfortunately
these products do not clean all the air they
could. An ongoing problem with a simple solution,
the ADU by CaluTech. Color shown is US Army
green, but it's available in any color to the
U.S. Military only.

This
UV air sterilizer uses a fully enlcosed UV electromagnetic
radiation field to protect those in the room
from over exposure, and to protect paint and
other surfaces from the UV light source. Rather
than shine directly on walls and ceilings the
ADU features it's own air movement system fully
encapsulated within the air purifier. By drawing
air from the lower part of the room, filtering
it, sterilizing it, and pushing it back down
to the floor the ADU is an ideal solution to
indoor air quality and decontamination in rooms.
The ADU, or Air Defense Unit, was specifically
designed for Tuberculosis and other patient
to staff risks of exposure to disease.

The
ADU is available in a variety of designs, large
and small. The design is very flexible. The
ADU can even be manufactured in larger form,
with additional 'braches' for large rooms, or
use 2 or 3 of the UV air purifiers pictured
above for savings on manufacturing costs. The
UV air system can be ceiling hung or wall mounted.
Because we manufacture it we can make any type
of mounting method you require, from wood ceiling
& walls to concrete structures. The UV system
pictured is designed for a room up to 30 X 30,
or a patient room up to 20 X 20 if used for
medical air sterilization where exposure is
high risk. The ADU can be fitted with activated
carbon filters, tacked polyester (washable),
or pleated filters. The UV currently standard
in these UV air purifiers produces 15 to 20k
microwatts, enough to kill Tuberculosis (TB)
which is rendered harmless at 10k, Bird Flu
which is deactivated at about 7k, and a variety
of other airborne pathogens.
